What the crazy green polyps on the top right side of the red planet?

That is my cup coral.

look at the growth on the Red planet on the cup coral side(right side) see how the ORA RP is growing over the cup coral instead of into it. I was wondering what was gonna happen there and i'm stoked to see the RP is growing over it. very cool

Not so great pics, but I wanted to post in here as well. My RP started out with some green as you will see in the first photo. I had it up high in the tank under 6x54w t5 and it started to go all red. I moved it down lower in the tank, and it lost all green (2nd pic), which was opposite of what I was expecting to happen. I'm getting great growth. photos show about 6 months growth. Now for some reason, my RP has gone pretty drab. Not sure if it was the recent switch to LEDs or starting ecobak pellets. Hoping for it to color back up.

Maybe something to do with growth, if it's young it'll be green at the base, if it's mature it'll be more green?

I have a fairly large colony of Red Planet and when I put it in my frag tank in high light and high flow it slowly went to a dark blood red and lost all of the green base. I moved it to the corner of my frag tank where it is a little less light and the flow isn't so strong and it is getting more pink and the green base is coming back. I don't think Red Planet likes high light or flow, thats been my experience.
